Celebrations & Rewards

Recognising clients with thoughtful gifts

Whether you are marking a birthday or celebrating a referral, investment or house-move. These can be really personal moments for your client where your thoughtfulness will really stand out and be appreciated. The end result? A strengthened relationship and increased advocacy from your clients.

Connecting with Corporate Gifts

The Devil is in the Detail

As I work on one of our bespoke business gift orders today, it strikes me how, even with the simplest of projects, once you start paying attention to the details the gift really evolves into something else entirely.

Choosing Great Business Gifts

It's Not Me It's You

It’s the eternal dilemma of gift giving, and nowhere more so than with Christmas business gifts. You desperately want to give your recipient something they will love, that resonates and is very them, whilst simultaneously being a reflection of you and your tastes and preferences.

Growing Gifts

Business Gifts

The Good, The Bad & The Ugly

There were about 8 of us. Gathered in the very corporate board room of one of the UK’s leading cosmetics distributors. We were there for the bi-annual strategy presentation for a premium beauty brand known for its personalised approach to meeting customer’s needs.

Shaken Not Stirred

The Gilded Bee #1

What makes a cocktail? This was the topic of conversation on a recent night out. We addressed the barman -surely an authority on these things. He declared his favourite to be a Jagerbomb so his opinion was quickly disregarded.

That's a Wrap

Gift-wrapping to Impress

The whisper-woosh as the ribbon is tugged free, the frenzied tear of the tissue and rumage through shredded paper. A quiet yet special moment of anticipation as a gift is revealed. Getting there, however is not always so treasured...

Perfectly Presented

Gift-wrapping Tutorial

So you've spent so much time time on choosing the gift that you've run out of time to think about how to wrap it. Never mind... Wrong! How the gift is presented can be almost as important as the gift itself.
